The roof is covered with Cool-seal, which adheres well but seems to attract dirt. I'm hoping the semi-gloss on top of the coating will make it a little easier to clean. Definitely looks better!

The entire superstructure is made of wood and latex works quite well. It's affordable, durable, easy to apply, and easy to clean up. What's not to like? The only place I use "marine" paint is on the fiberglass hull.

we had a 15x52 playcraft with vinyl covered decks.over the years the color faded away but the vinyl was in great shape.i didnt want to take the time to put new vinyl down so i cleaned it with malco red thunder and a power washer,then i wiped it down with acetone. i then painted it with a very good latex paint(sherwin williams). as long as i only used a car wash brush and a hose to rinse it everything was fine and it looked great. i mistakenly took a 3500 pd. power washer to it one spring and some came up(but not alot). it was a easy patch. it lasted us for years and the current owner says its still good.

Replaced our front deck fan with a really cool one called a Haiku. It was a gift from our daughter who works for the company. It's very different looking from normal ceiling fans. The parent company has a VERY unusual name - let me just leave it at that.http://www.haikufan.com/info-kit-off...gn=haiku-ppc-B

Adding a Windlass

Just in the beginning stages.
The bow cleats will have to be relocated so rather than make an actual 'relocate', I bought 2 new ones. Today, I drilled the holes and made some backing plates and test fitted them which required me to get into a hole that I didn't fit into. That was fun
Tomorrow, I will bed them in place and remove the old cleats. Then I will have to remove some of the teak strips on the bowsprit and prep the surface before anything else. Once that is done, I will buy the windlass and install it which means getting back into the hole I don't fit into.

Cleaned up some wiring from the previous owner. Not only did I rearrange the 'birds nest' wiring and run the wiring in the wiring harness I actually removed 5 wires and didn't add any. Everything still works except now it works like it is supposed to.
